Description
Bakunin: Statism and Anarchy is a comprehensive English translation of the Russian anarchist's final work, written in 1873. In this book, Bakunin assesses the strength of a European state system dominated by Bismarck, before turning his attention to the Marxist alternative, predicting that a "dictatorship of the proletariat" will in fact be a dictatorship over the proletariat. Instead, he outlines his vision of an anarchist society and identifies the social forces he believes will achieve an anarchist revolution. Bakunin's ideas had a significant impact on the "to the people" movement of Russian populism, and his thought continues to inspire anarchist movements to this day. This translation, accompanied by a lucid introduction and a guide to further reading, provides a reliable and accessible introduction to Bakunin's thought. A chronology of events is also included to help readers understand the historical context in which Bakunin wrote.
